  • 26 June 2020. Calais, France.<br />
Decathlon sports supply store in Calais. It is alleged migrants are supplied with tents and other essential survival equipment from Decathlon and other sporting equipment stores in the region. Ruthless Albanian gangs running migrant camps allegedly provide kayaks, surf boards and even paddling pools which desperate migrants pay way over the top prices to the smugglers for in their often desperate and dangerous attempts to cross the English Channel (La Manche) as they   seek to make better lives for themselves in Britain.<br />

Smugglers' Paradise. 'Gendarmes National' - National police wait for me at my car early in the morning. The armed gendarmes play cat and mouse with smugglers and migrants as they constantly patrol the region searching for migrants and the ruthless smugglers who deposit desperate migrants on the beaches as they attempt to make the dangerous crossing from France to Britain. The police claimed migrants often attempt the treacherous crossing from a number of beaches in the region. The location is reasonably remote and backs onto farmland. A gravel access road makes this a prime location for ruthless criminal gangs to drop migrants paying as much as €5,000 for a ticket on an inflatable dinghy with a small outboard motor and less for surfboards and inflatable kayaks. Police claim it is from here and other beaches in the region that migrants often set out to make desperate and dangerous attempts to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Migrants are crossing the English Channel (La Manche) by boat, kayak, surf board and even inflatable paddling pools as numbers seeking asylum in the UK continue to rise. <br />

Collect Photo from VCSM Escaut rescue craft (French Coastguard) between Calais and Dover, France.<br />
<br />
A spokesman for France’s Channel Prefecture said the photo was shot on Wednesday June 10, three miles off Calais.<br />
<br />
‘Three men and a woman were attempting to paddle across the channel on two windsurf boards that had been tied together with rope,’ adding: ‘Shovels were being used as oars.’<br />
<br />
A Mayday was put out by a Dunkirk Seaways ferry after the group was spotted at 6.35am, in a relatively calm sea. <br />
<br />
The VCSM Escaut rescue craft attended the scene, and rescued the migrants, who were all suffering from mild hypothermia. <br />
<br />
The group was returned to France, and later ‘processed’ by Border Police, who could provide no further details of what happened to them.<br />
<br />
The Prefecture spokesman said migrants were increasingly using makeshift crafts because of the difficulty of getting hold of motorboats.<br />
<br />
So far in June, 250 migrants have reached Britain by boat - including a record single-day figure of 166.<br />

Oil soaked brown pelicans on Belle Pass island near Grand Isle, home to thousands of nesting birds. The Louisiana brown pelican, a bird only recently removed from the endangered species list try in vain to clean oil from their feathers. The birds are attempting to rear their young with the threat of oil pouring into their habitat.  The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fertile of their kind in the world.<br />

A young refugee mother sits at the side of the road with her young 2 year old son close to the tented refugee camp at Zone des Dunes in Calais, a relatively new refugee camp which sprang up just outside the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was closed down by authorities. The mother who did not wish to be named is a refugee from war torn Eritrea. She made her way overland from Eritrea to Sudan and from Sudan through what she described as extremely dangerous Libya. From Libya she was able to get on a boat to Italy where she then boarded a train to Austria and eventually Germany where her son was born. The young mother claimed conditions in Germany were atrocious and she left for France where she has lived in the refugee camp at Calais for almost 6 months. Her dream is to find safety and sanctuary for herself and her little boy in the United Kingdom. <br />
